Chapter 1: Tangled

"Ahahahahahaha, you can't be serious? That has got to be the stupidest thing I've ever heard!" crackled the Mera-Mera no Mi user.

"Shut up!" hissed a pissy young woman.

Ace was wiping away tears caused by laughter, and tried speaking between laughs: "okay, s-so you're t-telling me, (laughs) you ate a Devils Fruit and (laughs) it gives you the ability to-" Ace started laughing like a maniac smashing his hand on the table, though the noise was drowned by other noisy pirates.

The young woman was fuming and was going to smash her sake bottle on this laughing mess of a man when she saw the Whitebeard tattoo on him, not wanting to get tangled with that mess, she set the bottle down when she thought of an even better idea. She smiled wickedly. Well, maybe just a little tangled..

She got up, she slammed money on the counter to pay for her drink and stood before the freckled man. She gently tapped his muscular shoulder noticing how indeed his body heat was very hot and how some of his veins popped out a little with him hardly doing much other than holding his stomach and whipping tears away. He finally calmed somewhat, and looked at her in the eyes.

Perfect.

She locked eyes with him, and started looking through his mind, memories and feelings attached to those moments. She saw a man with a pink kimono on and how he thought it was a flat-chested girl. She saw a boy with blonde hair and big blue top hat on and felt pain course through that memory. She saw a fist of love? And shuddered. She saw many things but couldnt find what she needed...

Wait...

Gotcha!

She smiled innocently at him. "Let me show you the powers of my fruit!" she said in a loud voice, jumped back 5 feet away from the poor unsuspecting victim, smiling cheekily, her legs slightly spread, her arms extended and both her pointer fingers curled into curves and her middle fingers remained straight, her hands forming a heart that framed Aces handsome face.

"YAOI YAOI NO CAMBIO DE CORAZÓN!"

Ace hardly had any time to react best he could do was bring his hands up to shield him from harm, but a second to late, as a pink beam shot out of her heart shaped fingers made, and shot Ace.

Darkness...

Surrounded in darkness.

"am I dead?"

Ace thought to himself. he thought he heard a heavenly song being sung in the distance.

He opened his eyes he looked down at himself his hands brought up in a defending stance. His body didn't ache, he didn't feel any liquid oozing out of him. He was still in the bar. And no heavenly song was being sung.
He was okay.

Ace started booming in laughter again, "Ahahaha, see? Completely and utterly useless!" Ace worried for nothing, he was foolish to even think that stupid power would even hurt him.

As Ace laughed, the young woman walked to him, a shadow covering her eyes. She extended her right hand and touched the left side of his chest with two fingers and smiled. She turned around and began to walk out of the bar when she stopped just outside of the door and said over her shoulder "Enjoy." and walked away, swallowed by the night.

Ace had stopped laughing and thought what the heck was all that about. Pfft, she was probably crazy or something. He turned to the bartender and asked for another cup of sake and the bill. Unbeknownst to Ace, a little heart mark appeared on the left side of his chest and glowed a faint pink color and disappeared again.

The young woman already close to shore smiled as her eyes glowed pink for a second.

"Good luck Portgas, let's see how you'll like your, "new" life style." she smiled once more and walked to her ship.

Ace was walking out if bar, he was still intact he could handle his alcohol.

"Damn, I must have drank a little more than I should have." hiccuped Ace. "nahh, I'm good." and walked to the Moby Dick. Most of the crew was asleep so he didn't want to make to much noise. He managed to get to his room (his violent attitude when he became part of the family got him his own room. Since the others didn't want to get burned in their sleep they let him be).

He saw his bed and launched himself into it, landing on his very well shaped torso. Not bothering to take off his hat or shorts or boots. He got one of his pillows and rubbed his face in it before it all went black.

"Hahaha hey! Watch out! You're going to slip!"

"No I'll be fine! Im going to be the pirate king!"

10 year old Ace smiled at his little brothers wild dream.

Slip.

"LUFFY! NO!"

"Ahhh! Aaaaaaaccccceeee!" screamed Luffy as he was falling into the abyss Ace threw him in when he first came here. "Quick Luffy, stretch your arm as far as you can! I'll grab it!"

Luffy pumped with adrenaline threw his fist as hard and far as he could.

Ace quickly grabbed the rubber like arm and pulled him in hurriedly. Sure Luffy had fallen in there before and Ace didn't bat an eye at that, but now it was different, he cared for him now. Since Sabo was gone, he had to care for him. Ace gave one final hard pull as he reeled in Luffy a little harder then expected, for Luffy flue up about 10 feet in the air.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!" screamed Luffy as gravity started pulling him down hard.

Ace looked up at Luffy and got ready jump before Luffy hit the ground. Ace caught him in his arms and rolled around, breaking Luffy's fall. Luffy looked up at Ace with big round innocent eyes. Ace looked at Luffy with one open eye and smiled at him, he was proud of him for not crying. Luffy smiled back and hugged Ace, his face in Aces' small chest. Ace felt uncomfortable and was going to push Luffy off, but he instead slowly brought up his arms and lightly rapped them around Luffy's back. If possible Luffy smiled even wider. Ace felt warm inside, he felt at ease, he felt... Happy. As if feeling the same thing, Luffy was over joyed and kissed Ace.

On the lips.

Ace awoke in a cold sweat. "what the hell was that!?" he quickly sat up and rubbed his eyes nearly falling off his bed. That scared to morning hangover right out of him. He curled him self up resting his elbows on his knees and face on his hands. "what the heck? Why would I dream that? I have never kissed or been kissed by a man! Ever! Not even by Luffy. Maybe I was really tired and random things happened. Ugh why am I still thinking about this!?" Angrily Ace got up and went off for a glass of water. He made his way towards the kitchen and got his water. After drinking 5 glasses of water he decided he needed some fresh air. He walked outside and sat on the edge of the giant ship, feet dangling, looking into the distance. Noticing the ship was now at sea once more. He couldn't see the island anymore.

"Good morning Ace, or rather good afternoon."

Ace didn't need to look back to know who it was.

"I wasn't feeling well this morning." Ace said plainly.

"You should let our doctor have a look at you if you feel ill."

He leaned on the boat edge, close to Ace, back facing the sea and brought a hand to Aces forehead.

"You feel a little warm. Though I could be wrong." said Marco with a smile for it was a known fact that Aces body temperature was hotter than the average persons would be.

"We didn't hear you come back last night, Pops was worried you know, you know how he gets even if he knows we can take care ourselves." Marco stated in matter of factly voice.

Aces face flushed. Marco had checked his temperature before but this time it felt different. Ace closed his eyes, and unknowingly leaned into the touch and Marcos personal space, he was basically leaning on his chest.

"Yeah, sorry about that, I lost track of time at a bar. I did come back, but everyone was asleep by that time." purred out Ace as he rubbed his forehead slightly on Marcos hand.

Marco stared at Ace. He thought of three things: 1 Ace was getting a fever because his cheeks were turning pink. 2 he was going to pass out. 3 He has a swore throat thats why he sounded like that. Or 4. None of the above and he's seeing shit. Yeah that's it.

Seeing shit or not, Ace had his eyes open now and was looking into Marcos eyes. Marco could see the freckles on Aces face, they stood out even more than usual because Ace blushed.

Ace was merely inches away from Marcos face. He could feel the mans exhales brush his face. Ace turned his head slightly parting his rosy lips. He slowly closed his eyes once again. His lips merely brushed against Marcos when he snapped out of whatever trance he was in and immediately pulled back causing him to fall over and land on his butt and hit his head. Ace cursed out loud in embarrassment. He felt his face heat up (not literally) and sat up quickly and rubbed his head not daring to look up.
Marco's normally sleepy lidded eyes slightly widened. He hadnt seen this coming. Before he could say a word Ace dashed off into the interiors of the ship.

"What the heck is wrong with me!?" cursed Ace. "First it's that dream, now this!? Whats next!?" Ranted Ace as he ran trying to hide for the rest of the day.

Grumble.

"Damn, I should have eaten first. Ace thought. "DAMN! I KNEW THIS HAPPEN! UGH! THIS IS WORSE THAN WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE!" Bitched Ace for eating was a serious business not to be fucked around with.

Ace quickly and quietly made his way to the kitchen. He quickly ran inside and looked for a sign of anyone else's presence. Awesome, alone. He rubbed his hands together and went to the storage room.

Meat.

Meat, everywhere.

Ace thought he nearly cried of joy. With a quick preyer thanking God for blessing him, he unleashed the kraken.

By kraken meaning his hunger.

._.

After eating till he thought he would pop, Ace thought he needed something sweet. Not too sweet but just enough to satisfy that want. Once again he raided the storage and found something sweet.

An orange.

He carefully peeled it not wanting to rip through the orange which would cause it to drip it's juice on his hands.

Ace ripped off a piece of the orange and started to eat it. It was very sweet. A little to much for his liking, but that was okay, he suddenly felt he needed sweet things. He quickly finished the orange before someone came in there. He washed his hands and ran off.

He found a place where no one would think of ever looking for him. His new found hiding place was full of books. That's right the library. Ace liked reading but he hadnt read much since he joined the crew just the morning paper. He started looking around at the books they were mostly about ships and pirates. Ironic thought Ace. Just when Ace was going to take a nap he saw it. He hadn't seen this before or even heard of it. But it caught his attention. "Broke Back Mountain?" read the title of the book Ace saw. It had a picture of a horse on it. Looks cow boyish thought Ace. He figured he could use a good laugh to loosen up. So he began to read.

*40 minutes later*

"Gwwaaaaa!" screamed Ace throwing the book as far as he could away from him. "Who the hell would bring this crap onboard!?" Ace cried out. Getting ready to burn that blasted thing to ashes. Though he quickly brought his hands up to cover his mouth. He stayed silent for a few minutes. Nothing. Good no one came. He sighed in relief. Back to freaking out.

"WHY!?" he cried out, his hands shaking the air. He had a feeling like someone was out to get him.

Ace shook his head and tried to relax. Relax? Yes! He needed to relax! Nothing is more relaxing than taking a shower. He smiled and got up and ran to the shower room. But he forgot his things so he went to his room and got his towel, poof, sponge, soap, body gel, shampoo, conditioner, a mini scented candle that smelled like sakura blossoms (a gift from Izo), and spare clothes (no shirt of course).

He made it to one of the many shower rooms they had and opened the door. Glad to see no one was in, he sat his stuff down and started the water. After it filled up Ace lit the candle, naked himself and climbed in. He sank to the bottom he wanted to be in the water completely. Though he was a Devil Fruit user he could still be in tact while bathing. He didnt feel as weak as other users claimed to be and He could hold his breath for a long time seven minutes was his record. He felt at ease, the water was a little more than warm and the only sound he could hear was his heart beat. He was very relaxed. A few minutes later he surfaced from the water and began to wash up. After he was done he drained the water and started to dry himself. His hair went first, then the rest of his body. He put out the candle and began to dress himself. He threw the towel over his shoulders and got all his stuff in his arms and opened the door, poking his head through the door. No one in the right. No one in the left. He didn't want to run into anybody else today, he might embarrass himself again. He got out closed the door and quickly ran off. He turned a corner when

Crash.

"Fuck!" cussed out Ace as he rubbed his head. Landing on his butt once again.

Ace looked up to find Juzo looking at him with a serious face.

"Sorry Juzo, I guess I should have walked huh?" Said Ace with a sheepish grin and scratched the back of his wet head.

Juzo looked at the floor, and lifted an eyebrow. Ace followed his gaze and saw his stuff on the floor. "Um I just came back from showering!" Ace explained while putting his things in the towel and tied it and ran off again.

Juzo looked off in the direction Ace ran off to. 'What an odd fellow, I didnt even ask what he was doing. Not that it was important anyways.' thought Juzo. "For a man, those were a lot of showering utensils." he shrugged not really wanting to judge for all he used was a bar of unscented soap and went to a bathing room for he needed a bath. Though this one looked recently used. "It smells like sakura blossoms." he shook his head and used another shower room.

Ace ran to his room and put his stuff away. "What the hell has gotten into me!? I'm all jumpy and blushy ugh!" Ace stomped his feet in anger. Mid-stomp did it occur to him that "Wait, I know! I know exactly whats going on." Ace thought out loud. "I need to suck up this sudden weirdness and act like my old self would!" He had a determined smirk on. "Yosh!" he exclaimed and fist pumped the air. He walked out of his room and made his way to the deck. He ran out and took a big breath of air and exhaled, he noticed it would be a few hours before dark hit them so he had time. There were people on deck so he went to talk to some of them. A flash of pink caught his eyes and turned to see Izo who was sitting down looking at the sky. Ace walked up to him and greeted him.

"Hey Izo. Whatcha doing?" Izo looked away from the sky to look at Ace. "I was looking at the sky trying to relax. I haven't seen much of you today. What were you up to?" asked Izo.
"Meh, nothing really," Ace sat down in front of his pink kimono wearing friend. "just trying to relax I guess." finished Ace. Though his eyes said another thing. Izo lifted a questioning eyebrow at him. "You're the most care-free guy I know, what's got you tense?" Ace flinched. "N-nothing." Izo was going to press on that manner when Marco came. "Oi Izo, Pops wants to see you." Izo nodded and stood up, he looked down at Ace momentarily and saw his face looked pink. His mind must have been screwing with him because for a moment he saw a little pink heart glow once on Aces' chest. Why was he looking at Aces chest? 'Cause he could. He looked away and walked off to the old mans office.

Shit. Its just me and Marco. He had his face turned to the side he couldn't bring himself to look at Marco. Not now at least, maybe in time they'll look back at that little incident and laugh at it, when they're drunk of course and won't remember a damn thing.

Marco scanned Ace, noticing how younger slightly fidgeted and had dusting of pink on his cheeks. Marco stood in front of him, "Oi, Ace." he started. It took a few seconds before Aces eyes moved to look up at Marco. Look up? I mean freeze midway up, looking up at Marcos crotch. He stared at the bulge, he knew Marco wasn't hard but damn, impressssssive! -and a random thought crossed his mind; "I wonder what it looks like I know his thick and big but how big can he get?" Ace wanted to stab himself in the face for thinking that, but was a little relieved that he didn't say it out loud he had been thinking out loud recently. He realized a little too late that Marco was waiting for him to answer and look up to met his gaze (not stare at his crotch for two minutes). That's it, I'm dead man. Ace thought he didn't care any more and just met Marcos gaze. He looked calm. As usual but Ace knew this man could mask his true emotions pretty damn well. He just hoped a little that there was no hard feelings by the whole "staring at your crotch" thing.

He didn't say anything. He didn't have too, he knew what was coming; a question bombing with a side of wtf's with his name written all over it.

How was that? Yeah I know Ace is acting like a little bitch but meh. Ps: there's gonna be a handful of cussing in here, come on people theyre pirates! For those of you who don't know "Cambio de corazón" means "change of heart" in Spanish.
